Finding a Gardener in Exminster: You shouldn't be afraid to ask for some assistance if your garden in Exminster is in a bit of a mess and you don't really have the time to do it yourself. It's often easy to just bring in the "fellow down the road" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? While it isn't necessary to have qualifications to work as a gardener in Exminster, professional usually beat that "fella down the street" hands down when it comes to gardening knowledge. You will need to decide which gardener is most suitable for your requirements.
You certainly want a gardener who will treat your garden with respect and not cause it any harm or damage. So take care to track down a local Exminster gardener who can be trusted to do a decent job. Some plants and trees need special care, in which case this is even more important. Don't settle for less than the best.
No matter what size your garden is there will always be jobs that require attention as part of a routine. With the arrival of spring the frequency with which such tasks need attending to increases. The list of the most common gardening jobs will come as no surprise and includes the likes of weeding, general tidying, mowing lawns and hedge trimming. Most Exminster gardeners will also take on jobs like laying patios, driveway cleaning, garden fencing and waste removal.
Decent gardeners will come at a premium, so don't expect them to work for peanuts. Charges generally start at approximately twenty pounds per hour. Certainly for the first visit you should reckon on your gardener needing more than an hour to get the job done. The majority will generally prefer to spend 2 to 3 hours on each visit. This is understandable when you factor in travelling time, loading/unloading, and waste disposal.
Payment in advance is not something that gardeners usually ask for, so be cautious if your gardener requires this. An exception might be when a large job is involved such as decking or fencing when some money up front may be asked for. Quite often a gardener will ask to be paid in cash once the work is complete and that is of course fine. Insist on getting a receipt especially where cash is involved, this will avoid any disputes about unpaid work later on.
Be transparent about your requirements before any work begins, give the gardener a rota of tasks that you would like to be done. Any self-respecting gardener will be more than happy to help you get your garden in order, use this help and guidance wisely. Not all gardeners like to take away the waste and lawn clippings, so check that yours does.
Gardening is thirsty work, so don't forget to make a hot or cold drink for your gardener to keep his/her spirits up. Small things like this will help make the gardener happy in his/her work and a contented gardener may work harder on your behalf. Engage in some conversation with your gardener whenever you get the chance so that you can build a friendly relationship and benefit from their knowledge and ideas. Don't overdo this though, because constant nattering will slow down the whole process and may put your gardener off returning.
Garden Design Exminster
While a gardener may be a genius when it comes to looking after your garden, it might be a different "kettle of fish" when it comes to garden design. Many gardeners prefer to stick to the regular tasks such as grass cutting and hedge trimming, leaving design and landscaping to others. It would pay you to ask your gardener if they have the confidence to do this. If worse comes to worst you might have to call on an expert.
Garden Clearance Exminster
If you let "green" waste and general trash to build up in your garden, the time will arrive when you need to call in a garden clearance specialist. A few Exminster gardeners will be willing to do this, but unless they hold a "Waste Carrier's Licence", they'll be restricted on the quantity of waste they can dispose of. If you've got a council garden waste bin (you usually have to pay extra for these), you might be able to dispose of the majority of it gradually, if the quantities of waste are only relatively small.
You will possibly need to call a registered garden clearance expert, if like many property owners in Exminster, you've got a garden that's piled up with all sorts of junk, and not only "green" waste. If you've got a significant amount of junk in your garden you could also think about hiring a mini-skip. Along with your garden waste, this would maybe also allow you to clear out your shed, your garage and even your attic, if they are junked-up as well.
"Green" waste would typically be considered to be stuff like: roots, plants, topsoil, tree branches, bushes, twigs, logs, turf, lawn trimmings and hedge clippings. (Tags: Garden Clearance Exminster, Waste Removal Exminster, Garden Clearances Exminster).
